Chapter 57: Nami, "Nami"
"You can't put it down, can you? What about the rest of the troupe? Bai Wenxuan didn't answer Old George, but continued to ask. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Old George frowned, "They, sick and sick, dead and dead, I don't know when I will have to follow in the footsteps of the regiment leader." ā
After a while, old George said, "You haven't told me how you saw it, and from whom have you heard of me?" ā
Bai Wenxuan shook his head, "Didn't I say that?" You can't afford to buy a theater that has been dilapidated like this, and only people who have a deep affection for this place would do such a stupid thing. ā
"Silly?"
"Art comes from life, if I'm not mistaken, in order to make the play Ocean Love more real, the aristocratic lady has also carefully selected the actors, maybe the fisherman George is really a fisherman?"
After Bai Wenxuan finished speaking, he looked at Old George with a smile, Old George paused for a moment, and then asked, "How do you know that I am a fisherman?" Old George snorted as he spoke, "Just because of the fishy smell?" ā
It seems that Old George is also aware, but Bai Wenxuan is noncommittal, "The smell of fish can be judged that you often deal with seafood, and your skin obviously has traces of being blown by the sun and wind all year round, although you have not been out to sea for many years, but this trace is still on your body." ā
"Fisherman, it is indeed a good reason to have a special affection for the artist performance troupe and the Jiyun Grand Theater." Old George said with a smile.
"After the dissolution of the artist performance troupe, the Jiyun Grand Theater was owned by the Jiyun District Council, and I had to go fishing again, and after more than ten years, I finally saved enough gold coins and then repurchased the Jiyun Grand Theater from the council."
Lin Yi glanced at Bai Wenxuan, not knowing what he was thinking, Bai Wenxuan's attention was all on Old George.
"If you don't mind, Mr. George, can you tell us what really happened? Why did Regiment Commander Lowell die suddenly? ā
Hearing Bai Wenxuan ask about the events of the year again, Old George was a little entangled, and only took a deep breath after a while, "Actually, this is not a secret that can't be said, it all starts with the script of Ocean Love." ā
Lin Yi supported his head with his hands and said contemplatively: "Is there anything wrong with this script?" ā
"The script is not a problem, and there is no problem with Captain Lowell, but when two things come together, it becomes a big problem." Old George had finished his cigarette, and the butt was still sticking to his lips.
"Zhiyun Province is off the coast of Ionia, and here is near the Sea of Watch, and in the Sea of Watch there is a magical race, the Shark Race."
"Sharks?" It's a new race, when he was in the Kingdom of God, Bai Wenxuan heard Tong Mo talk about the magical race of yodelers.
Old George looked at Bai Wenxuan and Lin Yi with some surprise, "You haven't heard of the mermaid clan, have you?" ā
Lin Yi just wanted to say no, but was interrupted by Bai Wenxuan, "No, we want to hear from you." ā
Old George looked at the two of them with some suspicion, and finally said: "The mermaid clan is a mysterious race in the deep sea, almost no one knows their traces, but those who have seen it are shocked, these mermaids with human bodies and fish tails are the daughters of the sea. ā
"Human fishtail? Mermaids? The first thing that came to Lin Yi's mind was the legend of the mermaid.
"Mermaids? It can also be said that people who have seen the merman are amazed, and they are even willing to dedicate their lives to the merman. Old George said slowly.
Bai Wenxuan crossed his hands, "So the love of the sea is the story of the merman clan?" ā
"Pretty much."
"Does Lowell's death have anything to do with the Shark Clan?" Lin Yi asked.
"Director Lowell is a great actor who is very committed to every performance and is fully immersed in the role."
"Very dedicated, indeed."
Old George smiled bitterly: "Yes, Captain Rowell is a dedicated actor, in order to play the love of the sea, he devoted himself to the script and forced himself to fall in love with the fictional "Nami". ā
"The fictional "Nami"? What does coercion mean? Bai Wenxuan realized that things seemed to be getting complicated.
"The person who established the Jiyun Grand Theater is called Nami, and she is also the heroine of Ocean Love, and she plays a mermaid in the play."
The theater was quiet, save for a few bird chirpings and the sound of the breeze coming from the windows.
"Does Lowell love Nami?" Bai Wenxuan looked at the somewhat dilapidated stage and asked with a sigh.
Old George nodded first, then shook his head, "Captain Lowell is in love with the mermaid Nami, but not the human Nami. ā
......
"Falling in love with a fictional merman? It's incredible. Lin Yi leaned back in his chair, he didn't seem to be able to understand this feeling.
"What does Nami think? Old George, what do you think of her acting skills? Bai Wenxuan asked.
Old George shook his head, "No one knows what Nami thinks, no one even knows where she comes from, she's as mysterious as a merman, or she's even more mysterious, if you want to talk about acting, Nami's acting skills are really not good." ā
"That makes sense, Nami can't play the feeling of the mermaids, and Lowell is definitely not satisfied, am I right?." Bai Wenxuan stared at Old George and said.
Old George's eyes were a little cloudy, "Yes, Captain Rowell can't bear that he is not in love with a real merman, this is where he is paranoid." ā
"So Lowell committed suicide? That's a bit too bloody, isn't it? Bai Wenxuan put forward a hypothesis.
But old George's words overturned this assumption, "Captain Lowell did not commit suicide, he wanted to find the real merman, and finally his body was found on the beach, and Miss Nami was nowhere to be found." ā
"That's it?" Lin Yi looked confused.
Old George was also very helpless, but in the end he could only nod, "The cause of Captain Lowell's death has not been ascertained so far, and Miss Nami has never appeared again, what happened back then is estimated to be only known to the parties concerned, I went to sea not only to accumulate funds to buy Jiyun Grand Theater, but also to find the clues left back then." ā
"Hey." Bai Wenxuan let out a long sigh and said after a while, "Commander Luo Wei should have left in a hurry, right?" Did he leave anything behind? What about Miss Nami? ā
Old George paused for a moment, "What are you going to do?" Captain Lowell did leave a lot of things, I helped him tidy them up and put them away, Miss Nami didn't leave any items, if it weren't for the Jiyun Grand Theater standing here, I would have thought that her existence was not real, it seemed that everything was in vain. ā
